The Hot Seat: 'Once Upon a Time' bosses answer burning questions

Who the heck is the story book author? Will Belle (Emilie de Ravin) and Rumple (Robert Carlyle) get their happy ending? What’s the deal with the Queens of Darkness? With so many questions lingering after Once Upon a Time’s winter finale, EW decided to put executive producers Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis in The Hot Seat, where they have the option of answering your questions from Twitter with “Yes,” “No” or “Can’t say.” Get the scoop below:

EW: Is the Sorcerer the author of the story book?

EDWARD KITSIS: Can’t say.

Will we meet the Sorcerer in the second half of the season?

ADAM HOROWITZ: Yes.

Is there a way to rewrite the story book so that deaths can be reversed?

HOROWITZ: Can’t say.

Will we find out what happened to those who were inside the Sorcerer’s hat?

KITSIS: Yes.

Should the fans still have hope for RumBelle’s happy ending?

KITSIS: Yes, they should have hope because this is a show about hope. The minute you lose hope, then nothing will happen.

Will we ever see Rumple’s trip to Camelot?

HOROWITZ: Can’t say.

Will we see Belle’s mother (Frances O’Connor) again?

HOROWITZ: Maybe.

Should Archie (Raphael Sbarge), who has a dalmatian named Pongo, be worried now that Cruella de Vil (Victoria Smurfit) is coming to town?

KITSIS: Yes.

Was that Pongo in the flashback?

HOROWITZ: No.

Will Regina (Lana Parrilla) find out that the Knave (Michael Socha) knew her mother?

HOROWITZ: Maybe.

Will we get the story of Will Scarlet’s sister?

KITSIS: We did get it in Wonderland.

HOROWITZ: We’ll get more of Will Scarlett’s story.

KITSIS: We’re really excited about the second half because we’re going to see much more Will.

Will Robin Hood (Sean Maguire) get a flashback episode?

HOROWITZ: Oh, absolutely.

Will Regina ever return the hearts that are in her vault?

KITSIS: Boy, I don’t know. If they’re still around.

Will we see Emma (Jennifer Morrison) and Regina’s relationship grow due to them working together?

KITSIS: Absolutely.

Will Emma ever get to hear the message Hook (Colin O’Donoghue) left for her?

KITSIS: Nope.

HOROWITZ: It was erased by Rumple.

KITSIS: I have a feeling that he’s acted it out for her.

Will Hook seek revenge on Rumple?

KITSIS: Oh, yes.

Does Hook have a past with Ursula (Merrin Dungey)?

KITSIS: Can’t say.

Will we see Ursula’s moray eels?

KITSIS: Don’t know.

Will we see King Triton’s kingdom?

HOROWITZ: Maybe.

Will we ever find out the identity of the Black Fairy?

HOROWITZ: Maybe.

KITSIS: Someday we will.

Will the Snow Queen’s (Elizabeth Mitchell) curse on the town line be broken?

HOROWITZ: In the near term, it will be a big problem.

KITSIS: But we have seen that you can find Storybrooke if you have the right utensils.

Any chance the Frozen sisters will ever return?

HOROWITZ: Never say never.

Is Henry (Jared Gilmore) going to learn any magic?

KITSIS: Is he going to learn magic? No. But does he believe in magic? Yes.

This is random, maybe, but is Henry still attending school? Is there time for regular education between curses?

KITSIS: Yes! You’re going to see Henry in school in the opening of the premiere. There is always time for learning, Oncers. Always.

Should we expect another pregnancy on the show after Snow (Ginnifer Goodwin) and Aurora (Sarah Bolger)?

HOROWITZ: Can’t say.

KITSIS: I mean, at some point, someone is going to get knocked up. That’s just the way life works.
